          RELEASE ABSTRACT

          ________________


          FAXCLEAN:
          The Wang VS FaxClean Utility, Release 02.00.00, FAXCLEAN application is
          designed to delete records from the Fax Queue database file prior to the date
          entered.  Because this application may take up to 1 to 3 hours to run, it can
          be submitted to background, thereby, freeing up a workstation.


          FAXCANCL:
          The Wang VS FaxCancl Utility, Release 02.00.00, FAXCANCL application is used
          to cancel FAXCLEAN.  Because FAXCLEAN is manipulating the Fax Queue database
          it is necessary to use FAXCANCL if the VS Multiline Facsimile Gateway
          administrator needs to cancel the FAXCLEAN before normal completion.


          NOTE: This utility is Y2K compliant. A date entered as 01/01/01 will be
          recognised as January 1, 2001. A date entered as 99/01/01 will be recognised
          as January 1, 1999. In general, the two digit year, YY, will be taken to lie
          between 1980 and 2079.


          NOTE: This utility may run for an extended period of time and is both CPU and
          DISK I/O intensive.  The amount of time required for this utility to complete
          is dependent on the size of the FAX Queue.


          NOTE: If FAXCLEAN must be cancelled before it has run to completion, it is
          necessary to run FAXCANCL to prevent the Fax Queue database from becoming
          corrupted.


          NOTE: No more than one FAXCLEAN session will run at a time

          The purpose of FAXCLEAN is:

              Delete all records prior to the date entered by the user or procedure

              _____________________________________________________________________

          The purpose of FAXCANCL is:

              Cancel the FAXCLEAN application in progress

          To Run:

              From the Command Processor run FAXCLEAN in @FAX@ on the Fax Volume

          Submitting to background:

          The procedure should pass the desired date to FAXCLEAN.  The date can be
          calculated from within the procedure or the date could be in quotes as in
          "940301".

          NOTE: When submitting FAXCLEAN to background from a procedure, the date field
          must be in the (YYMMDD) format.  If the date is invalid a GETPARM screen will
          appear at the operators console asking for input.

          NOTE: The application will quit if the date field is left blank


          To Submit to background from a procedure:

              run FAXCLEAN in @FAX@ on the Fax Volume
              ENTER INPUT = "950301"
